Ship to the United States, Ji Hongchang was unexpected stimulus one after another, such as the first-class hotels there do not receive the Chinese, the Japanese but worship.
Once, Ji Hongchang to mail clothing to the country, the post office staff even said the world no longer exists in China, Ji Hongchang exceptionally angry, just want to attack, accompanied by the Embassy Counselor persuaded: "Why don't you say you are Japanese?

2. Study for the Rise of China
When he was 12 years old, Zhou Enlai left his hometown and came to the Northeast. At that time, the Northeast was the center of the imperialist powers' rivalry in China. When he got off the bus in Shenyang, his uncle, who had come to pick him up, pointed to a busy, bustling area and told him, "Don't go to that place to play if you have nothing to do!"
"Why?" Zhou Enlai asked in disbelief.
"That's a foreign concession, it's a bad idea to get into trouble, there's no place to talk about it!"
"And why is that?" Zhou Enlai asked.
"Why? China is not revitalized!" Uncle sighed and said nothing more.
Soon, Zhou Enlai entered the Dongguan Model School. He could never forget what his uncle said when he picked him up, and often wondered, "What is it like in the concession area? Why can't Chinese people go there while foreigners can live there? Isn't it Chinese land? ......"
A series of questions baffled Zhou Enlai, and his curiosity drove him to see for himself.
On a windy Sunday, Zhou Enlai carried his eldest uncle on his back and asked a close classmate to break into the tenement. This area is really very different from the rest of the world: a street is brightly lit and bustling, and most of the people walking on both sides of the street are yellow-haired, white-skinned foreigners with big noses and powerful police officers.
Just as Zhou Enlai and his classmates were looking left and right, they suddenly realized that a group of people were gathered in front of the police station and were shouting something. They rushed over and saw a ragged woman crying out in the crowd, while a large foreigner stood proudly at the side.
When asked, they realized that the woman's relative had been run over by a foreigner's car, and she had expected the Chinese police to back her up and punish the foreigner. Instead of punishing the foreigner, the Chinese police reprimanded her.
The Chinese onlookers clenched their fists. But who dares to do anything in a foreign concession? One could only persuade the unfortunate woman. It was then that Zhou Enlai truly realized what his uncle meant when he said, "China will not be revitalized.
After returning from the concession, Zhou Enlai was often seen alone in deep thought, but no one knew what he was thinking. It was only after listening to Zhou Enlai's speech in a class on cultivating one's moral character that the mystery was solved.
That day in the cultivation class, Principal Wei asked the students a question, "May I ask why all students study?"
The students answered enthusiastically. Some said, "To study for the sake of understanding." Some said, "To be an official and study." Some also said, "Study for earning money." "Read for the sake of eating."......
Zhou Enlai had been sitting quietly, not grabbing the floor. Principal Wei noticed, gestured for silence, and named him to answer. Zhou Enlai stood up and answered clearly and firmly:
"Study for the rise of China!"
Principal Wei was energized by what he heard! How could he not expect that a twelve or thirteen year old child would have such an ambition and bosom! He opened his eyes wide and asked again, "Tell me again, why do you study?"
"For the rise of China and study!"
Zhou Enlai's powerful words won the applause of Principal Wei: "Good wow! For the rise of China! Those who aspire should emulate Zhou Sheng ah!"
Yes, the teenager Zhou Enlai at that time has realized that the Chinese people want to be free from imperialist bullying, we must revitalize China. To study, one should aim at this.

Mrs. Yao first wrote words on Yue Fei's back, and then stabbed it with an embroidery needle. However, the word "country" was missing, symbolizing that there was no head in the country. After the stabbing, Mrs. Yao put vinegar ink on it. From then on, the four characters of "Be loyal to the country" remained on Yue Fei's back forever.

It turned out to be six tongues of fire coming out of a bridge spanning the dry river at the northeast corner of Longhua Middle School. The cunning enemy, on the bridge to repair a cleverly camouflaged dark fortress, blocking the path of our charge.
At this point, Dong Cunrui and his comrades asked their company commander to blow up this bridge-type bunker.

In the bridge-type bunker, the machine guns of the Kuomintang Army were firing tighter and tighter, and the bullets swept past his ears with a sharp whistling sound.
When he was about to rush into the open ground, Shunyi pointed to a small mound of earth in front of him and said to Dong Cunrui, "You cover here!" A burst of grenades blew up the deer halt and barbed wire in front of the enemy bunker.

And at this time, his leg was wounded, blood flowing. He held the explosive packet and quickly stormed under the bridge. The bridge is more than one person high from the ground, both sides are masonry, no ditch, no prongs, there is no place to put the explosive packets.
If you put the bag of dynamite on the riverbed, you won't be able to blow up the bunker, and you won't be able to find anything on the riverbed to replace the gunpowder holder. How to do? Suddenly, behind the loud and clear sound of the charge, the time to attack has come.
